I dont’t see current location pin, seems it needs some time to find your current location, that’s why at beginning it shows 0,0 position.

@bharadwaj.kollepara I agree. However it still appears it is a GPS TTFF issue, not necessarily a widget issue. @BlynkAndroidDev will likely be the one to make that final determination.
Common solutions, in any of the devices of mine that had poor tracking was, usually resolved thru A-GPS, but again that might be dependent on your cellular carrier. Sometimes that feature is enabled by default, but check your device settings to be sure.
And as @Fettkeewl has noticed, once the widget has locked onto a trigger position it should work, providing you don’t need to keep changing it around.
Hello,
Just a quick update on this, I’ve helped BlynkAndroidDev with debugging issues with GPS trigger, it’s in the works if not yet released.
And to you others that are getting tossed out in the ocean etc and having issues with pinch to zoom.
Try double tap zoom for zooming in, you can also double tap and hold on second tap swiping up and down for faster
zoom just like it works in Google Maps app.

With help of @Fettkeewl the wrong positioning of the map in gps trigger’s was fixed (there is still some issues with zoom on his device - we will investigate in future), so all who has this issue please check new 2.10.1 release.

I zoom into the area that I want the trigger to happen. However it does not seem to geofence the zoomed area, when I go back and look it has zoomed out again. Is it possible to maybe include a lock/unlock setting so that once you zoom into the area you can lock the position? I find if I now look at the GPS Trigger position if I’ve moved some 30km away it picks up my current position and then assumes my current position.
I do not know where I should be, so I’ll ask a question here.
For example, if I want me to sonoff open the garage door when I get 100 yards from home. How to get the GPS trigger widget when there are no options to edit house numbers and the like.
And the second question, when I want to select the virtual pin V1 that otherwise opens and closes the door through the application, can not use on GPS trigger it because V1 is busy?
@Mediax I’ll start by saying that I consider the GPS Trigger and GPS Stream widgets to be inaccurately named. It would be more appropriate to name them Tracker Trigger and Tracker Stream widgets as I’m sure there are Blynkers wrongly thinking they need to have GPS to use the widgets.
Even Blynkers that have GPS on their phones may not wish to try the widgets for fear of battery drain but the “Tracker” widgets do work without GPS.
Returning to your particular points:
The settings for the “Tracker” Trigger widget present you with a “map” and you pinch to zoom in / out to cover the required radius around your home.[quote=“Mediax, post:28, topic:11736”]

If you allocate the trigger on V2 then something like this to control V1. You might need to reverse HIGH and LOW or use 1 and 0. Also strip out the references to ClockTime
BLYNK_WRITE(V2) { // Tracker trigger arrival / departure
int state = param.asInt();
if (state) {
Serial.println("Arrived home at " + String(ClockTime));
Blynk.virtualWrite(V3, "Arrived home at " + String(ClockTime));
Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, HIGH);
} else {
Serial.println("Left home at " + String(ClockTime));
Blynk.virtualWrite(V3, "Left home at " + String(ClockTime));
Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, LOW);
}
}
